“On the Fervor of Francis’
Love” (from The Life of Francis) by Bonaventure
Note the phrase "that
he might be aroused to divine love from all reality": how does it fit into
the Bonaventurian vision?
What is implied in
Bonaventure’s claim that “in beautiful things [Francis] saw the most beautiful”? How does this fit into the vision of
Bonaventure? How does this help us
understand what we are supposed to consider in this step?
